Subject: [SIGCIS-Members] History of computer advertising<br>
<br>
Dear list members,<br>
<br>
For an article I’m writing I am interested in the history of computer adverts in newspapers (1955-1995), but I am having a hard time to find literature on the topic.<br>
<br>
Maybe some of you could suggest me some literature on computer advertising ?<br>
<br>
Also, I would be interested to find collections of computer adverts, possibly digitized and accessible online. Any suggestions ?<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Enrico Natale<br>
<br>
